In a video, two humanoid robots sort components for the centre console. Xiaomi gives no figures on throughput, interventions or battery.
On 3 November, Xiaomi released a video in which two humanoid robots sort components at its car factory. The parts are side covers for the centre console. According to the company, the robot completed a task lasting eight hours at this workstation. In the video, the robots move parts between large containers on mobile platforms and racks with individual slots, while a counter shows the working time so far.
Xiaomi says the robot can detect and correct faults on its own while coordinating with the production line system. According to Humanoids Daily, the company does not say which faults these are or how often recovery was needed during the run. Details on parts per hour, human interventions or the battery are also missing. The eight hours should therefore not be read as eight hours on a single charge, as Xiaomi does not describe charging or battery swaps.
In March, Xiaomi had reported on a three-hour pilot for installing nuts at its electric car factory in Beijing. There, the success rate was 90.2 percent according to the company, with a required cycle time of 76 seconds. This rate applies only to that earlier trial, not to the new sorting task.
